New from Ideogram: Edit Transparent Images

Available to all Ideogram users. Yes, even free accounts.

What it is: For the first time, edit images with transparent backgrounds using natural language and keep the transparency intact. No background removal tools. No extra steps. Just describe what you want changed, and Ideogram handles the rest.

Why it matters: Ideogram creators could already generate images with transparent backgrounds. But editing them? That meant leaving Ideogram, making changes in another tool, and re-removing the background. That workflow is gone. Now you can refine details, adjust elements, and add final touches to transparent images - all without ever leaving Ideogram.

How it works

Open any transparent image in the Ideogram editor, describe what you want changed, and you're done. No additional tools or steps required.

Prompt: Add two more balloons in yellow and blue tied to the same string

Prompt: Add a tiny kitten sitting at her feet looking up at the balloons

Prompt: Replace "BLACKTHORN RESERVE" with "HOLLOW CROWN DISTILLERY", swap the stag skull for a raven skull with mechanical clockwork gears visible inside the cranium, keep the Victorian etching style

Prompt: Make the entire emblem look like it's forged from liquid mercury with holographic rainbow reflections across every surface

What exactly is "Edit Transparent Image"?

It's a new feature that lets you edit any image with a transparent background using plain language prompts — and the transparency stays intact. No need to remove the background again after editing. Just describe what you want changed, and Ideogram handles the rest.
